What The Chefs Are Making For Thanksgivukkah

Thanksgivukkah is just days away, and in addition to local restaurants across the country offering special Thanksgiving and Hanukkah mash-up meals, many chefs are preparing their own Thanksgivukkah feasts at home.

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Make gremolata: In a small bowl or food processor, combine all ingredients.

2. Make stuffing: In a medium bowl, toss mushrooms with olive oil and salt and pepper. Spread mushrooms on baking sheet and roast at 500 degrees for 8 minutes, until golden brown. Lower oven to 350 degrees.

3. In a large pan over medium heat, sweat red onion in butter until very tender. Pulse cooled mushrooms in food processor until coarse. Add mushrooms to sweated onions. In a large bowl, beat eggs together with cream and stock. Turn off heat on mushroom and onion mixture and add to egg mixture. Add bread and gremolata and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a casserole dish and bake for 20 minutes.

4. After it is cool enough to handle, roll mixture into 1-inch thick patties, place in plastic wrap, and freeze until they are stiff enough to cut.

5. In large, deep frying pan, heat about an inch of oil to 375 degrees. Dredge patties in flour, egg wash, and then panko crumbs, and fry for about two minutes each, flipping in between. Drain on paper towels and serve.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whip together butter and cream cheese. Add sour cream, pumpkin puree, and sugar and mix again. 2. Add eggs one at a time, beating a little after each one. Add milk, molasses, salt, nutmeg, allspice, and ground cloves and mix to incorporate the custard.

2. Place cooked noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour custard over noodles and mix well. Pour into a large baking dish that has been generously buttered. Place this dish in an even larger roasting pan and add water so that you create a water bath for the pudding. Add enough water so it comes halfway up the side of kugel dish.

3. In a small bowl, mix topping ingredients together. Sprinkle topping on kugel and place in oven for 1 hour uncovered.

4. Remove from oven and let rest a day before serving. Cut into pieces and warm up in a 350-degree oven for 15–20 minutes before serving.
